Low libido can result from various internal and external factors. These include stress, anxiety, medications such as antidepressants or antihypertensives, relationship challenges, lack of orgasm during sex, emotional imbalance, depression, trauma, menopause, pain during intercourse, hormonal changes, chronic illnesses, and more. Identifying the root cause of low libido is crucial for finding effective solutions.
Having sex doesn’t always equate to a healthy libido. For example, a man may experience ejaculatory relief without genuine pleasure, while lack of pleasure in sexual relations may discourage both men and women from engaging in them altogether. Understanding and addressing the underlying reasons for diminished libido is essential for restoring desire and vitality.

What is Libido?
Libido is an energetic drive originating from human sexuality. Contrary to popular belief, sexuality extends beyond the genital system. Libido encompasses the energy that motivates individuals to fulfill basic needs and seek pleasure.
Social and cultural mechanisms often repress or redirect part of this energy into non-sexual activities like work, art, or study. However, a portion of this energy remains available for sexual and emotional fulfillment. Libido also plays a pivotal role in human interaction, exploration, and even recognizing boundaries and social norms.
When this energy is mischanneled, it can lead to socialization difficulties and behavioral disorders. Conversely, a healthy libido contributes to overall balance and connection with others. In essence, libido is the “will” or “desire” that propels human action, reflected in expressions like “I’m not in the mood.”
Causes of Low Libido in Women
In women, low libido is often linked to frigidity or altered sexual desire, characterized by a lack of interest in sex. Several physical, mental, and psychosomatic conditions can contribute to this, such as depression, anorexia, cirrhosis, hypogonadism, and others. Additionally, hormonal fluctuations during the menstrual cycle affect libido, with peaks during the fertile period and declines during menopause.
Causes of Low Libido in Men
In men, low libido can be influenced by a variety of physical, psychological, and lifestyle factors, including:
Hormonal Imbalances: Low levels of testosterone can significantly impact libido.
Medications: Drugs such as antidepressants, antihypertensives, and antiandrogens may reduce sexual desire.
Chronic Illnesses: Conditions like diabetes, obesity, heart disease, and kidney failure can affect libido.
Stress and Anxiety: High levels of stress or anxiety can interfere with sexual arousal.
Depression: Mental health struggles often reduce interest in sexual activity.
Sleep Disorders: Lack of quality sleep or conditions like sleep apnea can lower libido.
Substance Abuse: Excessive alcohol consumption, smoking, or drug use can impair sexual function and desire.
Relationship Issues: Emotional disconnect, unresolved conflicts, or lack of intimacy with a partner can lead to a decrease in libido.
Age: Natural hormonal changes and physical health issues related to aging can contribute to low libido.
Addressing these factors through medical intervention, lifestyle changes, and therapy can help restore libido and overall well-being.
Benefits of Maintaining a Healthy Libido
Maintaining an active and healthy sex life offers numerous benefits, including cardiovascular protection, improved sleep, and pain regulation. Hormones such as testosterone in men and estrogen in women play key roles in controlling libido. Testosterone drives physical and sexual changes in men, while estrogen facilitates cellular communication and influences libido in people who menstruate.
When Libido is Excessive
Diseases such as OCD, bipolar disorder, hyperthyroidism, and syphilis can cause an abnormal increase in libido. Some medications and drugs may also lead to hypersexuality, known as sex addiction or nymphomania. Addressing these conditions often requires medical and therapeutic interventions.
Low Libido and Tantra
Tantra offers a profound approach to healing and restoring balance in cases of low libido. By integrating sexuality, body, mind, emotions, and essence, tantra promotes a complete and harmonious system. The benefits extend beyond sexual health, offering holistic healing, emotional release, and spiritual awakening.

Through tantric practices like Authentic Tantra Massage, energy blockages are cleared, allowing individuals to experience increased pleasure, enhanced orgasmic potential, and deeper love. This sacred practice incorporates energy work, breath control, and therapeutic touch to address deep-seated emotional traumas and blockages.
According to Wilhelm Reich, emotions, traumas, and memories are stored in the musculature. Tantric massage helps release these imprints, freeing individuals from emotional pain and fostering personal transformation.
How Tantric Massage Works
Tantric massage stimulates bioelectric energy throughout the body, generating pleasurable sensations beyond the genitals. It also boosts the production of hormones like endorphins, serotonin, and oxytocin, which promote well-being. Scientific studies have shown that touch has immune-boosting effects, with the skin producing substances akin to thymopoietin, a hormone essential for immunity.
In a tantric session, the focus is on removing blockages and restoring the natural flow of sexual energy. The process may involve emotional releases like tears or anger, but these are safely addressed within the session, transforming pain into healing and empowerment.
Tantra also emphasizes the importance of breath. Conscious breathing can alleviate stress, tension, and negative emotions, creating profound therapeutic effects. Combined with practices like vibrational techniques, meditations, and dynamic movements, tantra offers a comprehensive path to emotional and physical well-being.
